A few miles from Boston, in Massa- cbusetts. there is a decp inlet winding several miles into the interior of ths country from Charles Bay. ond termi nating in a thickly wooded swamp, or morass. On one side of this inlet isa beautiful dark grove: on the opposite aide the land rises abruptly from the water's edge, into a high ridge on whicb grow a few scattered oaks of sreat age and immense size. It was under one of these gigantic trees. according to ol! stories, that Kidd, the pirate, buried his treasure. The inlet allowed a facility te bring the money in a boat secretly and at night to the very foot of the hill. The elevation of the place permitted a good lookout to te kept that noone was at hand, while the remarkable trees formed good landmarks by which the place might easily be found again. The old stories 2d, moreover, that the ds vil pre- sided at the hiding of the Se He , and took it under his guardianship; Lut eth is, it is well known, he always does with buried treasure, particularly when it bas been i]' gotten. Be that as it may, Kidd pever returned to recover his wealth; being sh ortly after seized at Boston. ange out 10 Encland, and there hanged f. pirate.

dian fort tows.rds tie close of a sumzer's ay. She wus many hours absent, When she came back she was reserved and sy}- len in her rentics. She spoke soracthing of a Diack iran whom she had met about twilight, hewing at the root of a tall tree. He was sulky, however, and would not come to terms; she was to go avuin with & propitiatory offering, but what it was the forbore to say.

The next evening she sat of again for the swamp, with her apron heavily laden. Tom waited and waited for tier, but in vain, midnight came, but she did not make her appearance; morning, noon, night returned, but still she did not come. Tom now grew uncasy for he safety. especially as he found she had carried off in her apron the silver teapot and spoons and every portable article of valne. Another night clapsed, another mornin cume; but no wife. Ina word, she was never heard of more.

What was her real fate nobeds in conse quence of so many pretend. ng to know It is one ot those facts that have become confounded by a variety of historians. Some asserted that she Jost her way amon; the tangled mazes of the swamp and sunk I mit or slot: others, more uinchuritable, hinted that she had eloped with ¢] houschoid beoty and made ol tu some other province, while others asserted that the termpter had devoyed her into a dix me! griagamire, on topof which her lat was found iving. In confirmation of this it was said a creat black man with an ax on his shoulder was seen late that very evening coming out of the swamp, car- rving a bunUe tied in a check apron, with an air of surly trimaypt.

The most current and probable story, however, olserves that Tom Walker grew 60 anxious about the fate of his wife and his property that he sat out at length to seek thom both at the Indian fort. Dur- ing a long summer's afternoon he searched about the gloomy place, but no wife was to be seen. He called ber name re- yeatedly but she was now here to be lieard. The bittern alone responded to bis voice, ashe tlew sereaming by, or th. bullfrog croaked dolefully trom ao meashbboring p= At length, it is said, just in the

Such, according to the most authentic old story, was all that was to be found ef Tours wife. She had probably at- tempted to ceal with the black man as the had been accustomed to deal with her bustwed, but though a female scold is generally considered a match for the devil, vel in tis instance she appears to have lad the worst of it.

Such was the end of Tom Walker and his ill gotten wealth. Let all griping money brokers lay this story to heart. The truth of it is not to be doubted. The very hole under the oak trees, from whence he dug Kidd's money, is to be sepn te this dav; and the neighboring swamp and old Indian fort is often haunted in stormy nights by a figure on horseback, ina morning gowu and white cap. which is doubtless the troubled spirit of the usurer. In fact, the story has resolved itself into a proverb, and is the crizin of that popular saving pre- valent Lurcughont New England of “The Devil and Tom Walker.”

These clairns ure audacioussurely. Yet, when we consider how the rhythmical tread of the brave man differs from the ecitated shamble of the coward, how music is the artef human joy, and how joy and repose of mind are the main elements of manly fortitude, we shall at any rate cdmit that there is a strong afiinity somewhere; our only dificuley will be to acknowledge that mu:ic, de- liberatcty applied, could ever be the di- rect Cutise
